Caster Rustam Mavlyutov, known by his handle Adekvat, commented on the recent roster changes at Aurora Gaming’s Dota 2 squad. His reaction was posted on his personal Telegram channel and attracted attention for its candid tone.

In his post Adekvat called the new combination "a hellish mix," but noted that attempts to assemble an international, skill-focused "imba-mix" along the lines of teams like Mouz are interesting. He wished the new roster luck and added that, at minimum, the early matches will be intriguing to watch.

Aurora Gaming officially unveiled the updated five on January 8. The lineup now includes Chung “Ws” Wei Shen and Oleg “Kaori” Medvedok. These two players replace Alexander “TORONTOTOKYO” Hertak and Chan “Oli” Chong Kin in the team’s active roster.

The changes signal Aurora’s move toward an international mix of players with varied backgrounds and playstyles. Observers and fans will be watching their upcoming games closely to see how the new chemistry develops and whether the experiment pays off in competition.
